Choose an age, morning wake and nap rhythm to generate a practical example day.

Times are flexible start windows, not fixed appointments. The next part of the plan depends on when the previous nap actually ends.

Free baby wake window calculator

Lulla estimates the next likely sleep opportunity using your baby’s age, the time they woke up and the day rhythm you choose. The result shows whether the next sleep is more likely to be a nap or bedtime, how long the wake window is, and a flexible suggested nap duration.

Wake windows are best treated as a starting point rather than a promise. Babies vary, and sleep can change with development, illness, feeding, stimulation and the previous night. Use the calculator alongside your baby’s own cues.

How it works

  1. Choose your baby’s age.
  2. Enter when they last woke up.
  3. See the next nap or bedtime window.
  4. Check the wake-window length and suggested nap duration.

The Plan tab generates a complete example day with nap start windows, wake-window lengths, suggested nap durations and a bedtime range. Around transitions, you can switch between plausible rhythms instead of forcing one schedule.

Open the baby day plan generator or read the baby sleep schedule calculator guide.

How long should a baby nap?

There is no single ideal nap length for every baby or every nap. Lulla shows a flexible range based on age and the selected rhythm. A short late nap may serve a different purpose from a long midday nap.
